I have azure DevOps server on-premises, and I want to create a new project but I can't. even though I'm using the admin account. I can create a new collection, but I can't create new projects, here's the log when I check it

if the question is referred to development ,then serverfault.com isnt the best place. However the error tells you that a file already exists wherever/whatever you trying to do ...

thanks for your comment, this is not about development, it is about Azure DevOps server management, I cleared the %temp% file and created a new collection but still could not create project, I used different browsers, and the incognito mode but still facing the same issues, but there's no existing file anywhere since the collection is brand new.

Thanks for your reply, yes, I did, I tried random names, and even I created a new collection and tried to create a project with a random name. I tried to create the project using the rest API but still faced the same issue

I don't understand what do u mean by path. for the devices, I use a local server: azure DevOps server 2019 on-premises

if its using a local file, then the path is either fixed or known. what fits on your issue?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
